In telecommunication, an equivalent noise resistance is a quantitative representation in resistance units of the spectral density of a noise- voltage generator, given by where is the spectral density, is the Boltzmann constant, is the standard noise temperature (290 K), so .
Note: The equivalent noise resistance in terms of the mean-square noise-generator voltage, e2, within a frequency increment, Δ f, is given by
